WhatsApp and messaging are updated for iOS 10

iOS 10 has brought many changes for the better for users and devices. The iPad Air 2 and Pro may not have evolved enough software to differentiate themselves too much from the iPhone or achieve the advantages that a desktop operating system can offer, but it has gotten better. And one of the most interesting improvements is what new Siri can do and how well it works. Already with iOS 9 they improved it and made it faster, now, in Spanish, they have put a more natural voice, it understands and works better, and it will be compatible for third-party applications. Or rather, now Apple's virtual assistant is open to developers.

One of the categories for which Siri can be used is to send messages and communicate. Calls, video calls and stuff. WhatsApp is one of the pioneering applications in its integration, and Telegram should not take long. Both have recently been updated several times. Instant messaging is reinvented in iOS 10. Find out what changes and more.

WhatsApp is updated for iOS 10

The most popular messaging app for iOS. Bought not long ago by Facebook and improved a lot since that happened. It is not the best, it has a lot to improve and not being in multiplatform is an inexcusable weak point. Telegram, in that sense, is much more comfortable and easy to use. From any device at any time, and with its own app for the Apple Watch that works perfectly. Anyway, let's see what's new in WhatsApp in iOS 10 in the latest version of the app:

• A serious bug has been fixed that caused notifications to not appear or not work in iOS 10. If they still do not work well, restart the device, as recommended by the app itself.
• Now it is allowed to mention members in groups. Finally, although it could work better.
• You can forward to multiple groups at once, which is really appreciated when you want to share a fun video like crazy.
• Siri sends messages for you. Do not ask him to send "a whatsapp". You have to say "Send a WhatsApp message". And before that you have to activate Siri for WhatsApp in the settings.
• Now IP calls are native and work almost like normal calls. Only with iOS 10, of course. It seems silly but it looks and works great. I liked it and now I am considering using those calls.
• And what I like the most is the new widget. In the widget window I can see recent chats and know if I have messages or not without opening the app. Great and save a lot of time. I am no longer opening and closing WhatsApp continuously.

Very interesting news that improves the app and makes it closer to its superior, Telegram. This app also from now on.

Telegram waiting for update

On September 23, it was updated allowing to draw on photos and videos, adding stickers and other settings such as Text. Little by little they improve the sending of files in this regard. They also allow you to make and send GIFs. And to these are added the new details previously named. Stickers, draw etc. And this of the labels seems to suffer a new and greater boom, because it is becoming fashionable.

Messages, the native app, receives the sticker store and much more in iOS 10. Many developers have launched their own for sale or upload. There are free and paid, of all types and for all tastes. Telegram now allows you to search for highlights from any chat, and yes, it is quite useful.

WhatsApp is the only one without stickers, for the moment. Facebook Messenger did have them and they were very good. Let's see if he joins the car soon, since he has done it with the calls and the rest of the features. We will see what other news they present to us and if Telegram soon becomes compatible with Siri and the use of voice messaging.
